The Metropolitan line will still go to Aldgate as present. The planned
service is

6tph Hammersmith - Barking
6tph Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Aldgate - Victoria - Edgware Road
6tph Uxbridge - Aldgate
6tph Wimbledon - Edgware Road

So the Circle, always crowded, will get less frequent...


It will? Isn't the Circle 6tph at the moment?


It nominally has a train every 8 minutes, so 7.5 tph.


I haven't got the current WTT, but I thought it was every 8½ minutes in
the peaks and every 10 minutes off-peak.
